I have formatted one worksheet to use weekly. Everytime I copy and paste it
for a new week, I lose some of the formatting. How can I maintain every
change that has been made so I can copy and begin data entry without
reformatting?

Right-click your sheet, choose Move or copy and mark the checkbox
Create a copy.

I would create a Template for just that worksheet so I could InsertWorksheet
and get my new sheet with all the formatting, formulas, but no data.

To create.........go to FileNew

Delete all but one sheet.

Format and set that up as you wish.

FileSave AsFile TypeMS Excel Template(*.xlt)

Enter SHEET for the name......let Excel add the .xlt

Store it in your XLSTART folder usually found at

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

This will be the default InsertWorksheet
